CURTAIN RANGER.

To all whom tf/may concern.'

Be it known that I, ANTONI- KUBIAK, a citizen of Poland,` residing at'Paterson,

county of Essex, and State of New Jersey,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain Hangers, ofwhich the following is a specification.

lThis invention relates to improvements in adjustable Vcurtain poles,Iand it is the principal object of the invention to provide a simple,neat and eiicient pole of this type which is adapted to tit window andother' frames of different widths, without requiring any specialfasteners to secure it in position.

Another object of the invention is Ato provide a curtain pole which canbe extended or contracted to any desireddegree, and which 'is adapted tohold curtains of*A different widths. 5 2 i A furtlfrl object of theinvention is to provide an adjustable curtain pole allowing -a readseparation of 'the telescoping parts thereo for the curtain.

In the accompanying drawing-I have dis.- closed the preferred embodimentof my inffacilitating theadjustment of v-vention and have described thesame in detail'- hereinafter, but as the Ainvention is susceptible ofvarious modiications,the form vwhich is shown in the drawing is to beconsidered as illustrative, rather than'restrictive of the scope of myinvention.. i In the accompanying drawingf Figure 1 is a front view ofthe curtain pole constructed according to thejprese'nt inventionattached to a window frame, and

Figure 2 is a detail topvplan View of one .of the telescoping membersofmy pole detached from the other'memben l Figure S'is a detailsectionalview illustrating the engagement between the head of the'spring and one of the telescoping members. 'Referring to the drawing,the curtain pole consists of the two telescoping parts or members 10 and11,-which are both hollow for the reception of a strong spiral spring 12, secured with one of its lends to a pin 13 -within the member 11,while its, other-end is Spe'cieation of Letters Patent.

able opening 16 in the member l10, which opening ends in a restrictedpart 17 so that under the tension of the spring, the head 15 is heldagainst the outer wall of the member 10, while `the -part 14 extendsthrough the .opening 16, and the telescoping parts 10 and 11` aredisengaged allowing a curtain to be drawn over the member 10, thereafterthe parts or members 10 and 11 are united again' the part`14 is bent asvindicated in Figure 3 and the head 15 .ispulled through'the open ing 16land engages under the pullof the at the restricted part 17 of theopening 16.

' Then the pole is extended to fit wlth its lspring 12,-the outer wallof the member'lO,` i'

bracket teeth against the outer edge of a window or the like frameandthe spring will d raw the teeth 20 and 21 into the wood work of 'theframe to hold pole and curtain in their adjusted relative positions.

Having thusgdescribed my invention, what I claim is:

- .In a curtain pole of the" class described, a

. pair of hollow telescoping members, a sprin within said members, a pinwithinone -o said members to which one en d ofsaid spring is ixedlysecured, the. other member having a slot ending in a restricted part, ahead on the free end of said springadapted to bev drawn through theopening in saidlast named member to engage the outer wall thereof at therestricted partA of said slot, a pair of bracketsat the ends of saidmembers, and teeth on said brackets adapted t0 bel drawn into the woodlwork ofl a window frameby the action of said spring for securingthe poletowindows ,of different widths while accommodating' curtains of acorresponding width,

In testimony whereof I have aiikedfmy signature,
